Nutrition and Your Mental Health
What does nutrition have to do with mental health? You might be surprised to find out the truth behind what happens when a person has a nutritional deficiency.
Nutritional deficiencies can cause all sorts of psychiatric symptoms including apathy, low energy, irritability, insomnia, low energy, agitation, fatigue, concentration problems, aches and pains, weight changes, including weight loss or weight gain. Sound a lot like the symptoms of depression? The truth is the average American diet of fast food is low in vital nutrition that you need for your body to function correctly.
This isn’t to say that all depression is caused by bad nutrition but it’s certainly a contributing factor in many cases and poor nutrition will always make depression worse. Antidepressant drugs also do not correct nutritional problems. So if your depressed because of nutritional problems an antidepressant will only partially cover up the problem and you body still won’t function correctly.

My psychiatrist even put in my chart (he was against me taking these vitamins ) that on the vitamins I had a” miraculous change that was unexpected”. Thanks for your time and god bless

In my opinion the pharmaceuticals really do just mask the underlying problem of inadequate nutrition for some people who are deficient. My purpose writing this is not to get into a debate of who is right or wrong..I just can tell you for a fact Vitamins worked for me and without something that had real effectiveness I would be in a mental hospital to be honest..My bipolar is really that bad but on these vitamins I have completely balanced behavior etc.

Check it for yourself at truehope(.)com I’ve taken them for 6 years now and I can
honestly say I’m 10 times better than any medication i was ever on, and they tried me on every medication known to help bipolar at that time.

I know first hand that pharmaceutical’s mask the problem… I’m Bipolar and took medications for 10 years and was a drone, lost my personality etc etc until I watched discovery health and discovered a vitamin and mineral therapy that balances out bipolar by giving me the nutrients I was lacking. Central nervous system disorders have been directly linked to vitamin and mineral deficiency’s.

just start eating healthily, taking drugs on the long term is just rediculous if you continue to give your body crappy foods.

Natalie, Please help me!
I am 18 and bipolar/psychotic/anxiety and I take many pills a day. I even take a pill do deal with the side effects of another. I also take a b-12 supplement.
I try to maintain a good diet. I have been a vegetarian since I was five. I have quinoia and flaxseed almost everyday along with fruits and veggies, carbs. I try to exercise everyday.
I can’t stand to be on all this medicine! I think I should draw the line because I have to take drugs to deal with other drugs!

Do nutritionists believe in candida overgrowth {Candida Related Complex}, and the associated mental health problems. Why do doctors deny this condition and its effects on mental health?

Do drugs work for the mentally ill? Drugs are synthesized from natural substances such as nutrients (vitamins, minerals…) and phytochemicals, then patented for profit. So, if drugs work then Orthomolecuar Medicine should work. It works for me. I was diagnosed with bipolar.
Most symptoms of “mental” illness has at least one cause that can be traced back to nutrition. Each nutrient performs a specific function on our brain and body, ie immune system, nervous system, digestive system…

That depends if the problem was caused by poor nutrition in the first place. Sometimes it really is.
There are great many “depressed” people that are actually just hyperglycemic so they are tired all the time.
Other people exhibit mental symptoms due to toxicity.
Even in the cases where the problem isn’t caused by poor nutrition, it’s always exasperated by poor nutrition. If you become more physically healthy, you become more mentally healthy.

Valuable information everyone should follow. Does orthomolecular treatment really work for the mentally ill?
